Chapter 89: It's up to me
"The general thing is like this. Manzhi was deceived and did something stupid. I know that I am not the biological father of this child, and I also know that I am not worthy of your daughter. Manzhi is a college student.
And I am just a young worker who has not finished junior high school, and I know that what I am doing now is actually taking advantage of others, but I am really willing to take care of their mother and son, and I just like her."
Shao Xianjun usually seemed a bit glib and unreliable, but this confession he blurted out in front of Jiang Jimei made Gu Manzhi see his sincerity for the first time.
"Are you stupid?" Turning his head to look at Shao Xianjun, who was kneeling side by side with him, Gu Manzhi's eyes were covered with mist, "I'm already dirty. It's because I'm not worthy of you. I've rejected you so many times.
, don’t you still understand? I don’t want you to be laughed at behind your back, and I don’t want to harm you.”
Hearing Gu Manzhi's decisive words, Shao Xianjun just grinned: "Fortunately, you didn't say you didn't like me."
Gu Manzhi was stunned for a moment. When she figured out the meaning of Shao Xianjun's words, the grievance and courage she had suppressed in her heart finally couldn't be suppressed anymore, and they all came out in an instant.
She cried so hard that she cried so much that she cried. She thought that after more than half a year of forbearance and persistence, her tears had already dried up in the dead of night. Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared when she was most helpless.
Shao Xianjun made her once again a child who could cry without restraint.
As a man, Shao Xianjun didn't have the habit of wearing a handkerchief. Seeing Gu Manzhi crying so sadly, her tears were like broken pearls that couldn't be stopped no matter how hard she tried, he couldn't help but feel distressed and couldn't help but grab the corner of his clothes to wipe her tears.
: "It turns out that when college students cry, they always have runny noses and tears."
"Get out of here."
A soft complaint made Gu Manzhi burst into laughter and she wished she could punch this incomprehensible person to death.
The two people actually started flirting so unscrupulously in front of everyone, which made Jiang Jimei who was watching on the side not know whether to continue sitting or stand up and leave.
Tang Shu and Xia Yan, who were watching the show on the other side, turned around and ran away when they saw something was wrong, leaving only one sentence outside the door: "Oh, I'm so sore, my tooth hurts."
Hearing that his son-in-law had arrived from Jiangsu Province, Gu Zhengxiang was a little hesitant at first, but when his nephew came to the village committee compound to deliver a message, he quickly packed up and ran home.
Sure enough, there are two more young people in the family. Gu Zhengxiang can be regarded as a small cadre in the village. He still has some eyesight and insight. The slightly thinner young man looks very shrewd. He is standing next to Xia Yan at the moment. If
I guessed right, they should be a couple.
So the one who looks kind of honest and honest is Gu Manzhi’s partner in Su Province?
Before Gu Zhengxiang came up to confirm, Shao Xianjun took the initiative to stand up. He touched the seam of his trousers with some restraint, and suddenly bowed to Gu Zhengxiang: "Hello, uncle, I am Shao Xianjun." Then he took out a packet from his pocket.
Hongta Mountain.
Upon seeing this, Gu Manzhi immediately patted Shao Xianjun on the back: "My dad doesn't smoke."
"Oh, that's good. Smoking is harmful to health." In a slightly awkward atmosphere, Shao Xianjun took back the hand that held out a cigarette, took a deep breath, and bowed to Gu Zhengxiang again, "Uncle, I'm coming here this time.
We are here to propose marriage. We have already told aunt about the specific situation. Please agree to our marriage because Manzhi and I like each other."
"Okay, okay." Gu Zhengxiang quickly stretched out his hand to help Shao Xianjun up. He was afraid that if he didn't agree, the boy would really bow to him and send him away.
Turning to look at Jiang Jimei: "What is going on? Why are you talking about marriage as soon as you come to the door?"
Jiang Jimei let out a long sigh. She wanted to tell all the stupid things her daughter had done, but she was really worried that her husband couldn't bear it. Gu Zhengxiang had been a mediocre farmer in Yangtou Village for decades, and the biggest problem in his life was
He was proud of sending Gu Manzhi to university. What Gu Manzhi had done in the past year or so was too exciting for Gu Zhengxiang.
"What else could happen? When Manzhi was interning in Yangcheng City, Xiao Shao took good care of her. The two of them got along well with each other, but your daughter knew that she would definitely be arranged to return to her hometown to teach after graduation. The two of them
There would be no results, so I left a letter and left without saying goodbye, and now you have seen that Xiao Shao chased me straight to my house."
Gu Zhengxiang frowned: "If you want to put it that way, it's really a problem."
It is certain that Gu Manzhi will return to Hunan Province after graduation. Shao Xianjun is in Jiangsu Province, so the distance between the two is indeed quite far.
"Uncle, these are not problems." Shao Xianjun suddenly slapped his chest, "If Manzhi has to return to Hunan Province, I am willing to be your son-in-law. If she wants to stay in Jiangsu Province, I will never wrong her."
Are you kidding me? Today, Shao Xianjun is following Tang Shu. He is no longer a small worker earning a dead wage in the farm tool factory. Even if his whole family moves to Jiangsu Province, Shao Xianjun feels that he can afford it.
.
"I have already agreed on their matter. The fact that Xiao Shao chased her so far away proves that this child is interested in our daughter. You should stop pretending to be your father-in-law. By the way, the family must also prepare for separation.
It's too far away, so the couple want to take advantage of the opportunity to treat their relatives and friends at home to a drink, and treat it as their wedding banquet."
"Why so fast? Isn't Manzhi still in school? This is a bit too anxious." The young man only came to propose marriage. How come there was no formality at all, and they got married right after the proposal? Jiang Jimei, the mother-in-law, is too pretentious.
It’s unreliable, he doesn’t even know which direction his in-laws’ house faces now.
Jiang Jimei glanced at her husband: "I have the final say on this matter. Please keep your opinions to yourself."
"Then you come to ask me?" Gu Zhengxiang muttered softly and sat aside without talking.
Everyone in Yangtou Village knew that Gu Zhengxiang was afraid of his wife, but what outsiders didn't know was that when Jiang Jimei had just married, the Gu family had just separated, and as the unpopular middle child, he got a piece of homestead, even
It doesn’t even count as a family. If Jiang Jimei hadn’t used her superb needlework skills to help supplement the family income these years, with just the few acres of land and the small subsidy from the village committee accountant, how could his family have a college student?
Besides, Jiang Jimei's judgment of others is much more accurate than his own. If his wife approves of this son-in-law, what else can he say?
Since he was planning to hold a banquet in Gu Manzhi's hometown, money would inevitably be needed. In order to save face for the Gu family, Shao Xianjun planned to place a dozen or twenty tables and invite people from Yangtou Village to join in the fun.
Feeling the heat in Shao Xianjun's eyes as he looked at him, Tang Shu unconsciously pressed the pocket where he kept his money: "Don't think twice about me, who carries so much money with them when they go out?"
But before Shao Xianjun opened his mouth, Tang Shu was patted by Xia Yan: "Lend him, I have the final say in this matter."
Tang Shu covered his forehead and smiled bitterly. It must be said that Xia Yan's ability to learn and imitate is absolutely top-notch. Just now, Gu Manzhi's mother only showed a little bit of her dominant position in the family, and Xia Yan learned and used it.
At this time, a baby's cry came from the house. This was a reminder that the child had woken up and could not see anyone. Shao Xianjun didn't think much about it and opened the door and walked in. Maybe it was because Shao Xianjun had been holding the child since he was born.
, he just said: "Don't cry, daddy is here." The baby's crying stopped as expected.
Later, in front of Gu Manzhi's parents, Shao Xianjun changed the child's diaper very skillfully, holding it with one hand, and skillfully opening the bottle to make milk powder with the other hand. Jiang Jimei was surprised and moved by this scene.
It was Gu Manzhi's fate that her daughter met someone unkind. But fortunately, she still met someone she could trust.
Seeing Shao Xianjun's skillful and heartbreaking movements, Gu Zhengxiang's brows suddenly knitted together. He looked at his daughter and then at Xia Yan: "That's not right. Didn't you say that this child was picked up at the station?
